So I have the NEXT and had fit issues with wider feet. The recall liner was the issue. Swapped it out for a MyFit 2nd skin and they are comfy now!!! Please test with your Swell 3x125 frames please!!!???
It's surprising for your highly recommendaction yet not a paid ad. Anyway your review gave confidence on trying, I chose 2 sizes up with rather wide feet. It ended up well, without liners the boot was exactly two sizes too long but the width was comfortable. With liners, it seemed alright lengthwise, not bad at all. In fact by comparing with my old skates (one size up and just fine sideways), both boots' outside measured the same(head-to-toe). Heard lots of goodness on Trinity and bad things on Next's narrowness, hearing satisfaction from someone not associated or linked was very helpful, thanks.👍
yeah.. mine were waay too tight. thought i would risk it and try and break them in, but just ended up with unbearable pressure points. pretty much put them straight on ebay. i could have maybe got a thinner liner, but thought they were too unsupportive for 125mm anyway.
I'm glad these worked out for you! I think it is my wider feet that made these unworkable for myself. I'd love to get your opinion on the control and responsiveness on the Next compared to to the Rollerblade Twister or FR FR1-2. While the Next does have the three mounting points the receptors themselves are actually designed to move so that you can angle the frames with a three point mounting. The Twiser and FR1-2 both have embedded metal plates which I feel actually provide a more secure/responsive attachment to the boot even though they only use two points for mounting.
Yeah, wider feet aren’t going to work. These felt narrow as my m12. I hope to get some Twisters soon to give them a try. I haven’t tried any of the FR skates either. Plenty out there to review.
Based on the size charts I've been checking out I think my 257mm feet would be okay in the 40/41 but I just wanted to see if I could get your opinion on that before I order. The 90s seem like the perfect size for the type of skating I want to do 👌🏽
Hey there again, I have a couple more questions if you don't mind. First, is the foot bed on the Next flat once you remove the liner and shock absorber, or is there a bit of a raised heel? Also, I'm mostly going to be doing urban skating, so I'm trying to decide between the Powerslide Next and the K2 Uptown (I think I like the idea of a flat foot bed since I don't like raised heel shoes as my ankle feels more stable in flat shoes and my weight is more evenly distributed over the entire foot as opposed to the balls of my feet, but I'm not sure if that translates into skating)... Would you recommend one skate over the other?
The next is a raised heel, so any shock absorbers will cause more of a forward lean. I haven’t skated the Uptown, not sure any urban skaters really do. A plastic shell boot is usually best for that style.
Companies should be sending you boxes with new skates, these are the reviews people are watching when choosing skates. So when is the 50/50 prototype skate going to drop, youve already got the frames wheels bearings and hardware
Haha, I appreciate that but love that I can buy skates to review thanks to my Patreon. Let’s me be unbiased, just tell it how it is. No 50/50 boot anytime soon, but never say never!
Great review as always Law! Just wondering how you think these would be on a 110 or 125 setup or if you’re going to see what that feels like with the frames you have in these sizes? Thanks again for the review mate!
I'm very curious as well if you prefer the 90 over 110 or 125. A lot of people say they don't feel like they lose maneuverability with 110 due to how amazing the Trinity is.
Smaller wheels on a 4x90/275mm frame will work fine if you're looking for greater stability that comes with a slightly longer frame compared to a 4x80/243mm designed frame. They'll feel lighter but be slower like 4x80 which might be what you want. I have the exact skates and frames in this video but I roll on 80mm wheels for now. My skates originally came with 3x100/231mm which I think is too short for my skill level now, so when I do use that frame I install 84mm wheels which lowers me a bit.
I have the powerslide imperials and I’m wondering what’s your opinion on those boots vs the next boots as the imperial is not a trinity mount I assume it’s gonna be a worse frame because of the higher ride height and less points of contact
Would you recommend a 90 wheel over an 80 wheel? I am quite tall and am wondering if the larger wheels would be more suitable for stability over the 80s, given my taller center of gravity.
@@BacktoBlading Gotcha, I thought maybe the slighter longer wheel base of the 90s would provide more stability but now you've mentioned that also means they're a bit taller, I too think that 80s with a lower centre of gravity is the way to go. Cheers for making these reviews by the way... they've been very helpful!
I was astonished by how much you can modify the boot and the buckles. There are marks inside the shell and on the belts of the buckles where you can shave of some material to adjust the fit and flex. Though it is irreverseable.
What size are your feet and what size boot did you buy? My foot is a half size, but Powerslide doesn't offer half sizes. So would you recommend going up or down a size?
Hi there, I’m thinking about getting the Powerslide Next Core 80, my largest foot is 24.2cm, and the size 38-39 is 24.2 - 24.8cm. I’ve read from some others that once the liner breaks in it loosens up more, and that it’s better to size down if you’re close to the lowest size of the shell, but the next size down is the 36 - 37 / 22.9 - 23.6cm size. I’m concerned if I go with the 38 - 39, the liner will lose volume and I’ll have a sloppy skate, but I’m not sure if the 23.6cm is going to be too small. Are the sizes just based on the liner, or do they reflect the internal dimensions of the shell? Any Adobe would be greatly appreciated.
Hey, Next sizing is a bit weird. They size narrow and the top of the ankle can be tight. I would probably go with the 38/39 if I were you. The ratchet buckle will help pull your foot back and stop the slop.
these plastic skates look like trash, sorry for anyone who likes these but if you changed the color to red and yellow it would look like a "Little Tykes" childrens toy. and reminds me of the skates of the 90s, we've evolved much further than this technology now with carbon and synthetics boots, no need to continue using this old and out dated crap. the only reason it was used originally was due to the fact that rollerblade could not come up with a good system in the 90s that would hold the heavy wheels in place without flexing too much. look at a hockey skate for example. NHL skates. there isn't any plastic on them. they lace up with just laces. if textiles are good enough for the NHL they're good enough for me.
I'm sorry but, pros don't wear so much gear and I like watching pros. I ditched the gear after I learned how to skate. Are you trying to sell gear? I just can't buy into it when they're so dorked out. I remember those days. Wait, no I don't. I remember a lot of Band-Aids and laughing about it.
Wisdom is valuing health over worrying if others may find safety gear dorky looking. It would be unfortunate if you had to learn this lesson the hard way through concussion and broken bones. It all catches up to you, and youthful bumps and bruises can turn into lifelong health problems. It only takes one bad fall to change your life-and those who would have to care for you-forever. At least wear a helmet especially if you skate aggressive.
You might want to confirm its 190 Fahrenheit and not Celsius as some Europeans might have some well done liners! 😂
That's common sense. If someone heats their liners to 190C after watching this, it's on them.
@@bloodycrepe Cant expect somone who never even heard of heating the liners to know whats too much.
thank you
@@filipivan5125 yeah i was wondering if 190°C isn't way too hot :D

I’m still skating these today, so I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
I think you find my dream boot thank you 🧡 I searched a long time
the next are some good looking skates.. im itching for my Aeon 80's to come in from inline warehouse...
damn I'm kinda mad I didn't opt for those.
The Next are an insanely good deal for the money but I kinda miss having a groove :(
I pre-ordered from Loco and they came before labor day. You are going to be happy. Well worth the wait - the 80s are SO fun.
Can the Aeons 80 are good for cruising and free styling?
@@Avedisdrummer09 comfortable? What wheels do they come with
You have a lot of skill
Curious for you to try twister edges. My favorite
Next!
Lawrence, Powerslide offers now a Trinity 3x110 frame with a lenght of a 4x90 setup which is 270mm.
U convinced me to treat myself foe the birthday they look good and cosy
Nice nice nice video. Visuals great audio commentary to the point. Thanks!
I had to go one size up on these
yeah.. mine were waay too tight. thought i would risk it and try and break them in, but just ended up with unbearable pressure points. pretty much put them straight on ebay. i could have maybe got a thinner liner, but thought they were too unsupportive for 125mm anyway.

The Twiser and FR1-2 both have embedded metal plates which I feel actually provide a more secure/responsive attachment to the boot even though they only use two points for mounting.
Quick question; were these boots more painful for you due to your feet, or was it more about heel lift? Also, did you notice any ankle pain?
Yeah, wider feet aren’t going to work. These felt narrow as my m12.
I hope to get some Twisters soon to give them a try. I haven’t tried any of the FR skates either. Plenty out there to review.
No pain at all, some tightness in the heels though.
Back to Blading gotcha. Would you say the liner had similar volume as a fatboy liner?
It was thicker than the fatboy in my head, but I didn’t measure

People say they run true to size. And my feet feel fine. A bit more narrow than most though.
Did you change the wheels? The come with 80mm right?
These actually came boot only, I added frames myself. I think there’s a few configs available.
Wait, wheres the camera handle thingy?

I seriously thought your T-Shirt said “Back to Balding”, and thinking you were skating behind a Walmart, who would be the ones sell such a Shirt. 😂😂😂
Can I know what bag you use too?
I use the 50/50 backpack, but I own the company.

Hi Law, if you can I would very much like a review of the HC Evo by Powerslide. They are even better than the Next!
Oooh, those look interesting
Would you recommend the Powerslide Next or the Rollerblade Twister Edge X?
Love the Next, haven’t skated the Twister but hear good things.
Would they support 120kg person?
Great review as always Law!
Just wondering how you think these would be on a 110 or 125 setup or if you’re going to see what that feels like with the frames you have in these sizes?
Thanks again for the review mate!
I’ve got a pair of 125 frames to try, and my Flux still. Trinity is so good!
Back to Blading I look forward to see what you think as you’ve pretty much sold me on the Next for my first my first big wheel setup haha
I'm very curious as well if you prefer the 90 over 110 or 125. A lot of people say they don't feel like they lose maneuverability with 110 due to how amazing the Trinity is.
What happens if we put 72 or 76mm on these frames
That's what I've been thinking too!! 80 feels super high up. I'm a beginner haha

I live skating 90s, but I’m a fairly experienced skater. They’ll be much better for distance but less stable as they’re a bit taller.
